general Description
The SP78MXX series are monolithic integrated circuits designed as fixed-voltage regulators for a wide variety of
applications including local, on-card regulation.
This series of regulators are complete with internal current limiting, thermal shutdown protection, and safe-area
compensation which make them virtually immune from output overload. If adequate heat sinking are provided, these
regulators can deliver output currents up to 0.5A.
The SP78MXX series are available in two standard plastic packages: TO-220 and TO-252.

Note 1: Stresses greater than those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to
the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those indicated under "Recommended Operating Conditions" is not implied. Exposure to "Absolute Max-
